government revenue
State collected funds
Government revenue is the money a government collects to fund its operations and programs.
The primary sources are taxes—income tax, sales tax, property tax, corporate tax—but revenue also comes from fees, fines, tariffs, and returns on government-owned assets.
The new highway was funded entirely by government revenue from fuel taxes.
Economists and policymakers scrutinize government revenue as a measure of fiscal health and capacity for public spending.
